My cycley purchases today are a bright gilet for £3.50 and a red flashing band thing for £1.49 from aldi, and a handlebar bag from the cycle shop in Newark near the old theatre for £12.50. Brilliant shop you can only step in turn around and step out again as it is full of stuff the bike bags were under a huge pile of tyres and took the owner a while to find and there was a cat happily dozing in a cat sized space

A replacement 'head' (the part that clips onto the valve) for my old Specialized Airforce trackpump. The original part had broken after about 15 years hard use. It is a very good pump so I didn't want to scrap it, but I could not find anyone selling the correct part. I spotted a generic one on eBay for a couple of pounds and thought it was worth a punt.
It turns out that the inside of the Specialized hose fits the new head, but the external diameter is too big to get the hose into the head's plastic screw collar. I have managed to get the old collar halfway on. It is a bit of a bodge but the pump does work. I let my tyres down and pumped them up again. All seems ok.
If necessary, at some later date I will buy a small jubilee clip to hold the hose firmly in place.

A Specialized Hotrock MTB for my youngest's 12th birthday present, which means his current Ridgeback MX24 will have to go.

Chainring bolts for SRAM GXP (somebody lost one yesterday). New black SRAM lock on bar grips, as the white ones fitted to the MTB are just stupid (colour).

These:
"Genuine Citroen" parts to satisfy my OCD (although the more eagle eyed amongst you might notice a familiar brand name in there
) supplied and fitted including new roof mouldings by the dealer for less than a well known store could supply just the roof bars and the bike carrier...
